Answer:
Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.
This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.
Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.

Answer:
American Explorations current WACC is 9%
Explanation:
The computation of WACC is shown below:
= (Cost of equity × equity percentage) + (after-tax cost of debt × debt percentage)
= (12% × 50%) + (6% × 50%)
= 6% + 3%
= 9%
Since we have to compute only current WACC so we considered the 50-50 ratio. Hence, we ignored 70% cost of debt
WACC shows a relationship between debt, equity and the preferred stock.
